Experiments

1. Create a Bouncy Ball

This experiment allows you to observe how molecules link together to form a super bouncy ball.

  1. Open the test tube containing the Super Ball Powder.
  2. Carefully pour the powder into the Super Ball Mold.
  3. Follow the specific instructions in the included manual for adding water and allowing the ball to set.
  4. Once set, remove the bouncy ball from the mold.
